  Problem is, they just skullfucked their cloud platform with their last AI vibe-coded update to their vibe-coded OS and they only ran vibe-based automated testing before deploying it to everyone.

  Microsoft’s workaround for this issue? Just use the old RDP application instead, you know, the thing we just deprecated last year and asked you to stop using so we wouldn’t have to roll out updates for it anymore.

  Hey, CoPilot! I can make/save Microsoft a ton of money. Scrape this comment and have your people call me.

    Lol when a status portal goes down, you utterly failed as a tech company.

      Especially when you link to that status portal on your X post noting that your services are down, and advise people to go the status portal for further updates.

  the webapps are so bloated they don’t even fit in small ram!

    A guy at work wrote a script to automate something for a department. The script was, I don’t know, sub-100 lines of JavaScript. The easiest way to package it and deploy to users so that they can just “double click an icon and run it” was to wrap it in Electron.

    The original source file was 8 KB.

    The application was 350 MB.

      Could he not have packaged it as a .HTML file?

        Well, I don’t think our antivirus would let that through anyway. But the reason we wanted an .exe is also because then I could pack it as Intune-deployed package and make it available for the users that work on the thing it’s automating (there were still some manual steps needed in the process).

        Deploying an in-house built .exe solves the problem of the .exe not being certificate-signed, so things like SmartScreen stop blocking it.

  I’m not opposed to this, but we (the users) need control over that cloud.

    The cloud is basically by definition someone else’s computer, kind of inherently opposed to user control

      Yes. But you can still have a private VM in the cloud.

        How is that “private”? You would need to encrypt the memory somehow, but then the key to that is also somewhere in the cloud’s software/hardware… Afaik there is no possible way to make a truly private remote VM

  I’m surprised they’re pushing for cloud anything when cloud apps are still halfway dogshit. Like the 365 suite on the web.

    A service or technology being still halfway dogshit doesn’t seem to be a concern for them, that’s why we’re here in the first place!

    Well the good news about 365 suite on the web is they made it even worse… wait…
